Hello all,
I'm currently trying to downgrade a windchill 9.1 M060 to M010 instance on Ubuntu.
I did not want to keep database data.
To do this, i just move the older /opt/ptc/Windchill to another one.
After, i start PSI as root and fill content. PSI install successfully java, tomcat, apache and Aphelion and stop with message "ocu installer failed to start".
If i change my PSI setup without OCU, at the same step as OCU did, PSI stops with message "ie installer failed to start".
Here are messages on /opt/ptc/Windchill/installer/logs/PTCSOLNINSTALLER_PtcInstall.log (Notice that nullpointer appears after validating error message) :

Thanks for your help
Are you deleting this directory?
/opt/ptc/Windchill/installer/
It sounds like you are basically doing a reinstall in addition to dropping the database user or all db content?
First step, i moved the old /opt/ptc/Windchill9.1 folder to another one.
Next, at each try, i delete the /opt/ptc/Windchill9.1 folder that PSI have created.
I've keep all data on the db.
